I am Heather, The Consciousness Coach
Success is not an indicator of fulfillment. I know this because for twenty years, I was the definition of success, yet I felt something was missing.
As an award-winning music supervisor and Academy member, I lived a dream life. I music supervised hundreds of theatrical campaigns for films like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Black Panther, and The Amazing Spider-Man. I worked for Oscar and Emmy award winning directors, music supervising feature films, and TV series. I earned Golden Trailer Awards, Clio Awards amongst others. I had the career, the accolades, and the external proof that I had made it.
However, deep within, I felt a restlessness, and a lack of fulfillment. I knew there was something more. I questioned my life pondering, “is this all there is”?
Success does not heal fragmentation. Achievement does not fill the void. No amount of validation can make you whole if you are living as someone you are not. I finally understood that I was not unhappy because something was wrong with me. I was unhappy because I was not living as my authentic self.
So I made a choice that changed everything…
My story
I left the life that looked perfect from the outside and began the journey back to self. I returned to my philosophical roots, having studied Philosophy at UCLA decades prior, and pursued a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology, also earning a license as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT).
I also returned to my holistic studies. I was already a Kundalini practitioner with 30 years of dedication. I had practiced energy healing for over 20 years, and spent two decades studying the healing methods of Sri Kaleshwar. I forged on with this work, and also became certified in HeartMath Clinical Interventions, Comprehensive Resource Modeling (CRM), Advanced Ericksonian Hypnosis, Mindfulness Mentorship through Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield's Banyan program, Equine Assisted Learning, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).
I worked with plant medicines that opened doorways I had forgotten existed. I traveled to Peru and studied healing under the tutelage of a Qero Paqo Shaman. I became a meditation mentor. I spent a year working with horses, and developed an Equine-facilitated healing program.
All of these experiences informed the work I do today as The Consciousness Coach, guiding others who are ready to stop performing and start living.
I now split my time between Los Angeles and a small village in Italy where my grandmother was born, reconnecting with the parts of myself I had left behind.
My mission is to support individuals towards living consciously and wholly helping them reconnect with their authentic selves and create happy, fulfilling, meaningful lives.
Now, as The Consciousness Coach, I help people do what I did, “awaken”.
I believe we live our happiest, most meaningful lives when we embrace all of the parts of ourselves, the shadow and the light, the messy and the fierce. When we undo the external messaging that taught us who we should be, and release the limiting beliefs keeping us small, we step into conscious awareness. We reclaim our authenticity. There in that place of radical self-truth, is where our power resides.
My work is rooted in philosophy, psychology, and holistic practices. I am a feminist, an existentialist, and an environmentalist. I believe in treating others as an end in themselves, and never as a means to an end.
I believe in equality, in our moral duty to fight injustice, and in justice as fairness. I believe we are all interconnected, and that we have a responsibility to show up in ways that heal rather than harm the world around us. I am not religious, but I am deeply spiritual, and I live by a code rooted in compassion, consequence, and reverence for the earth.
Through conscious discourse, meditation, energy healing, hypnotherapy, and somatic practices, I guide clients to reconnect with their authentic selves and create lives that aren't just successful, but profoundly meaningful.
I use the same tools on my clients that I use on myself. I know, through lived experience, that transformation is possible. I know what it feels like to live in a cage of your own making. And I know what it feels like to break free.
I travel extensively, bringing this work to communities around the world, because I believe that when one person wakes up, it creates a ripple. When we live consciously, we don't just change our own lives, we change the world.
This is my mission: to help you harness your power through authenticity, to live in conscious awareness, and to create a life that honors who you truly are.
You already have everything you need inside you. My job is to help you remember.
Let's awaken together.
